Chapter 9: 9 - Mrs. Astor

I wake up suddenly when I move over and almost fall off the bed. Sitting up I clutch my head in my hands because it was literally exploding. Looking around I find it totally messed up and then it hits.

"Fuck. What did I just end up doing?" My eyes are just blank and unfocused as I get up.

I was trying to remember how we ended up like that. I should start drinking less now because I get high easily and end up with mistakes like this.

"Am I being too childish?" I ask myself as I look in the mirror and those hungover eyes look back at me with complete apathy.

I look around the house and don't find James anywhere. Did he just leave like that? I don't ponder too much over that thought and get ready for office.

"Good morning, Mrs. Astor." Mr. Elliot greets me when I go out.

"Good morning!" I put a hand over my eyes, the sun was hurting my eyes so much. I'll have to drink coffee as soon as I can.
